But some have a stable value and have helped many to make a positive change. I have read a lot. It does not happen anyway. If you want to become better, the study must never stop.

But I singled out the following. These are the 5 best personal development books for me. About 10 years ago I started reading books regularly.

It is now a pleasant habit for me. I dedicate 20 to 30 minutes a day to my new occupation. My initial question was:

Is there a way to solve many problems at once? With one move “

I wanted an answer. And I found her… I have to improve myself. I have to get better. To change the way I think. I will be able to solve many issues in my life at the same time. So just with one move.

Most of my insights into people, life, and money. I gained by studying these books. Also, in this article, you will not find a referral link anywhere.

The 5 best personal development books

Get rich with the power of thought — Napoleon Hill

Napoleon Hill ‘s book Think and Grow Rich. For many, it is the basis of personal growth and financial thinking. Most will answer the question with a resounding YES:

Do you want to get rich? “

Who would say no anyway? But ask about their plan.

Most will bow their heads. Everyone wants…But no one is willing to pay the price. Are you ready to make sacrifices? To devote time, study and effort;

What I kept from this book:

To set short-term goals often.

To achieve them and get closer and closer to my big goal.

You have to learn constantly.

Knowledge and personal development should never stop.

Whoever thinks that he knows everything, will be disappointed, and very quickly the others will overcome him. No one achieved their goals overnight. Durability and durability are the essential ingredients in achieving your goals.

You will find these and many other points in the book:

Get rich with the power of Napoleon Hill thinking

Today for me things are self-evident. Yet… I remember how impressed I was when I first read them. I was not like that. I had to change.

2. Rich Dad — Poor Dad — Robert T. Kiyosaki

Robert T. Kiyosaki ‘s book Rich Dad — Poor Dad .

What do parents learn from their children? Be a good student. Have good grades. Only then will you be able to find a very good job. Who among us has not heard this advice? Unfortunately, the above does not guarantee success today (nor happiness with bullets).

We need new answers. We do not learn about money. We are not talking about its importance. In this book, Robert has 2 dads.

The poor dad (his regular father) and the rich (his friend’s father) talk about the same things. But they have a different perception. How do the rich think about the same issues as how the poor.

What do wealthy parents learn from their children? Be a good student so you can buy a business

What I kept from this book:

The difference between assets and liabilities.

This changed the way I think.

Assets = revenue

Liabilities = expenses

The above equation seems simple… In fact, it is the biggest trap in our time.

To be financially prosperous you need to acquire as many assets as possible and reduce your liabilities. But what is an asset?

Is it your home? Is your brand new car an asset? Believe me… You will review many of what you knew. Rich Dad Poor Dad — Robert T. Kiyosaki

A must-have if you want to change your financial situation.

3. How to Make Friends and Influence People in the Digital Age — Dale Carnegie

If you want to succeed in what you do, you have to have a lot of people around you.

A world that respects and follows you . Dale Carnegie‘s book will show you how… to make friends, become popular, influence your environment, be successful in what you do, avoid controversy, and much more…

By far the best I have read about improving human relationships. I understood my fellow human beings better. I avoid everyday conflicts that really do not matter. Criticism (not constructive feedback) is ultimately one of our biggest mistakes. We insist on our opinion. The other must accept that we are right.

Only if he finally does it… We lost again. It does not lead to a positive development in any of the cases. We never win with criticism. No one admits their mistake.

By nature we believe that we do not make mistakes. And if we do, then we believe we had no choice. So criticism automatically puts our interlocutor in a defensive position and controversy is inevitable. You hit him opposite his sensitive point.

His pride. Try to understand him. If you want to change the other, you have to start with yourself. Real recognition is one of the greatest human needs.

Also to smile. It costs nothing. And yet you can achieve so much with it. A smile beautifies the world and can ultimately work wonders. Be a good listener and encourage others to talk about themselves. The favorite subject of us all. Ourselves are more important. Your toothache will concern you with more than 40 earthquakes in India. You will find these and many more in the book:

“How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie”

If you want those around you to love you…

4. The week of four working hours — Timothy Ferriss

Time and mobility.

The 2 most important values ​​in our modern time.

They are often worth more than money.

But how will you do it? How can you maintain the same earnings and at the same time reduce your work from 40 to 4 working hours per week? This is the main theme of Timothy Ferriss‘s book The 4-Hour Workweek.

Dedicate time to the substance.

For example, do not read newspapers or watch the news on TV.

What will you lose? Absolutely nothing. You will learn the important things anyway.

Try to get your own opinion. Timothy Ferriss’s main goal is time-saving and automation. How can you have the same or more and at the same time dedicate less time?

Describes the fully automated business with main steps:

Finding a market

Research and testing

Automation and outsourcing

This can be applied to almost all company sizes and industries.

The example may not represent you.

However, the way and why he decides to implement the specific measures made a special impression on me.

It’s a book that will open your eyes.

So if you are one of the people who never have time…

If you believe that everything will have to go through your hand to get it right… Then I suggest you start reading it even today:

“The week of four working hours — Timothy Ferriss”

5. The Compound Effect — Darren Hardy

Success magazine writer and owner Darren Hardy has really created something very dynamic with The Compound Effect.

The book’s statistics are impressive.

What is it about?

We must give our best every day to achieve our goals.

It starts with the striking question:

You have the choice.

Do you want 3 million euros or 1 cent immediately?

But beware cent the cent is magical and doubles every day.

What would be your choice?

What question…

But of course the 3 million. Correctly?

So wrong. The magic cent is the right answer.

The power of multiplication.

After 2 days you would have 2. In 10 days you would have 5 euros. After 31 days you would have about 11 million.

What does he mean by this example? Do not focus on immediate results. I know you have no patience. We are human. But leave the predators and the easy way.

Decide to do the right things for a long time.

Magic diets — instead of changing diet

Pills and supplements — instead of exercising regularly

Getting Involved in Strange Investment Programs — Instead of Learning the Right Financial Skills

The time will come when we will get the maximum benefit.

The book constantly mentions making the right decisions and taking responsibility. There will always be failures. And these are part of the game. This should not change our plans. We have to get used to it.

Do the right thing for a long time and it will become a habit

Incredible philosophy of life.
